Explain SMBC — the wiki for Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

This comic features a superhero parody where a character announces they have spliced their DNA with that of a "superbug" (likely referencing antibiotic-resistant bacteria), thereby gaining all its powers. Another character questions this choice, asking why they picked a bug when they could have chosen a tiger or a bear.

The punchline is the character proudly declaring "I'm bigger than you!" while appearing to glow with power. The humor is that a superbug's actual "powers" are things like antibiotic resistance and rapid reproduction -- traits that are impressive at a microscopic scale but largely useless for a human. The only real advantage of being a bug scaled up to human size is simply being enormous relative to other bugs, which the character treats as a triumphant superpower. It's a satire of superhero origin stories where gaining an animal's "powers" doesn't necessarily translate into anything useful at human scale.
